Important safety instructions /
Instructions importantes concernant la sécurité
The American safety norm UL1236 – Battery Chargers, Automotive type – by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) stipulates for the first chapter of
the device manual a text block including general safety instruction handling with lead-acid batteries for motor vehicles. This text describes very
concisely and informatively potentential danger and general handling using batteries and helps avoiding accidents and damage.
Therefore Deutronic included the following text in English translation in the manual for battery chargers..
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
5. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger
6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug immediately.
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualified serviceman.
8. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or clearing. Turning
off controls will not reduce this risk.
